Visibly stronger, with much more muscle to go with his athletic body, Anthony Joshua easily annihilated well-traveled American journeyman Jason Gavern (26-20-4, 11 KOs) in three rounds as a warm-up for a bigger fight with Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (29-6-1), scheduled to take place at O2 Arena in London, England, on May 30.
The 2012 London super heavyweight gold medalist and arguably the hottest heavyweight prospect in the world was in full control of the fight. Gavern looked for a survival but found it nowhere. Still he was able to finish the first round with just mild scares.
Joshua, 25, upped his game in the second, dropping the American twice - firstly with an overhand right, then with a major left hook. Gavern, 37, clearly hurt, fought it to the end no matter what. He was put down for the third time in a corner early into the third, and Joshua punched him while down (without any warning from referee Victor Loughlin).
